The basement is great for a family until it floods if there aren’t overhead sewers. I had flooding 2 weeks ago in my new house. I expected it so I was prepared. Luckily nothing was damaged other than a bathroom vanity in the basement.

Looks like a nicely done rehab, but $270k above previous sale a few months ago? What did that work run… $100k maybe? Seems they could sell quickly and still make a nice profit if they weren’t so greedy.

they came on the market last fall at ~$425K and i don’t think it got any offers until it dropped to below $400k. It might have fallen out of contract once though so I’m not certain. I will just say that the price point is high for Portage Park and these types of homes (tudors and bungalows).

Seems Rich for Portage but I hope they get it as I have a rental on a double lot over there that Im itching to dump. I probably would have set a target at 349 or 399 make a quick 50 and move on. Nice finishes though. I probably would have spent a little more on the exterior

Biggest problem with Portage Park imho is the awkward public-transportation situation. As with some other areas of the northwest side, to get from here to your job downtown via CTA you’d have to do a time-consuming combination of bus and train. Not sure how many young people are willing to put up with that when there might be something comparable available in a more commuter-friendly nabe.

It looks like a nice rehab but $450k and a new large master bath with a large vanity and only one sink?!? One sink is livable in a non-rehabbed bath or one that is simply too small but if you have the space and it is a brand new bath, I think not having dual sinks in the master bath is a major fail, especially if you are asking high $$ for the neighborhood.
